it's bigger than that. darood politics is a lot more complex than that, and summing it up in that manner does it a great deal of disservice.I know this sounds qabiliste of me but out of all the Darood clans I don’t see Marexaan as the ones who rebel when they are not in leadership positions. Our main lands are inside Somalia sonwe don’t look at it like we have a backup plan in Ethiopia/Kenya. As a Southern clan Marexaans realize they can’t enclave themselves in a corner like MJ’s. MSB AUN the ones who rebelled (to their own destruction ironically i.e Afgooye/Gaalkacyo massacres) were Daroods OG/MJ. The ones going against Farmaajo the most? Not D&M, Hawiye but other Daroods. This is just my honest observation. Thats why I gave up qabiil long time ago its complete and utter bullshyt. I believe Somali
Looking back in history, you'll see arrays of intra darood conflicts inside Somalia, something which you do NOT see in other qabiils.
Harti and OG over kismaayo in the late 19th century.
Majerteen and the dervishes in early 20th century.
MX and ogaden in Jubaland in late 19th century.
SSDF being the first to attempt a coup on msb.
spm joining the quest to oust msb.
The darood conflicts of kismayo post civil war including jees, hiiraale and morgan.
So when you look at all those events, you'll understand why farmaajo's biggest foes are other darood tribes. Or you can look at farmaajo being the enemy here, since both gaas and madoobe were there before he came, and tensions only spiked with his arrival, meaning he is the problem. I imagine, the spectrum end you choose will depend on your qabiil.
in short, other qabiils aren't as competitive as darood. hawiye never had major wars with each other before the 90s, same with isaaq, but darood hostility towards each other goes back several generations. It's all about power and resources, other clans don't mind sharing and we don't like sharing.
A second point I wanna make is that MX make majority in one gobol, meaning even if they wanted to be a clan enclave, they couldn't, because of that mere limiting fact. Majerteen can be a clan enclave, and ogaden can be as well, but you cannot be, hence why MX, of all the darood clans, is the only one that is a die hard centrist, the only one that needs the government on its side.
farmaajo understands this fact which is why he has waged a crusade against federalism, ignoring security, terrorism, poverty, and all other issues. He understands, a federal somalia is a massive disadvantage for marehan, while it is VERY VERY advantageous for other darood clans.





I wanna say compliance was forced out of you by hawiye in that region, after repeatedly losing massive amounts of lands to them. Something we have no done to you.
